In the most-talked about movie of the year,
Director Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility) brings together a
breathtaking combination of high-flying action (choreographed by
Yuen Wo Ping - The Matrix) and stunning visual effects, woven
around a story of honour, courage and love.
Set in 19th century China, Crouching Tiger
Hidden Dragon follows two martial-arts masters Li Mu Bai (Chow
Yun Fat - Anna and the King, Replacement Killers) and Yu Shu
Lien (Michelle Yeoh - Tomorrow Never Dies) as they battle
against evil forces to regain the stolen Green Destiny sword and
defeat long-time foe Jade Fox. To succeed they must overcome an
unknown warrior, the supremely skilled Jen (Zhang Ziyi), who is
fighting against an arranged marriage. In the process Li is torn
between his deep and long-denied feelings for Shu, and his wish
to tame and teach Jen.
Winner of over 40 awards, including Oscars for
Best Foreign Language Film, Music, Cinematography and Art
Direction (2000) and four BAFTA's including Best Director, this
critically acclaimed masterpiece is, according to the Evening
Standard "a movie every man, woman and child on the face of the
planet should see".
